No, I do not believe that. What government programs? Who are these mindless, irresponsible, people?A lot of people believe illegal aliens or undocumented aliens, or whatever you want to call them, get all kinds of "free" stuff. This is patently not true. They do not get welfare, they do not get food stamps, they do not get government assisted housing. I do not know how these rumors got started, but good luck trying to convince people that illegal immigrants have it made in this country. It is NOT TRUE!As for free medical care, they actually just steal it. They register under fake names, use fake insurance cards, and sign "promise to pay" slips for acute treatment, but then they are never seen again. This is one of the reasons for the high cost of medical care as the losses are passed on to paying customers. But they are not GIVEN free health care!Social security is our OWN money that is being managed by the government, and it is mostly being managed successfully. The Republicans want to curtail SS and set up private funds that they can steal from. They will "invest" those private funds and take fees and profits from them. This is why we need to fight to expand SS, not weaken it. This strictly Republican policy is meant to decimate the middle class and the working poor and increase profits for the rich.Most government "programs" fund the military and infrastructure. This is what they are SUPPOSED to do with our tax money. War mongers saw huge profits in armaments and they went for it, lobbying for war after war. Their obscene profits come from death and destruction.And we know what government has done to our infrastructure by looking at events like the Flint water crisis. When the government gets too big with no good oversight, they start to rape and pillage the very people they are supposed to be representatives of.The time is swiftly coming toward a huge turnover in our government because they have destroyed the huge middle class and working poor. We need to vote them out and elect much better people to work FOR us, not AGAINST us!The top 1% have gone too far and we will push back!

MichaelaWhere do you see any facts? Facts would cite their source.The statement about SS is false. Widen the search to Immigrants and you will find stats on using welfare programs, including food stamps. Free education, Free hospital. In Ca

Unfortunately, there has NEVER been a president in history who has been able to stop immigration! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! I would LOVE to see it stopped, but our borders are just too extensive! Live on a private small island to stop it - the ONLY way!

can you give me an example. It's a rather vague question.What is mindless, irresponsible, even stupid behaviors?Religion ticks the bill for me, but not everybody would agree...So please edit the question and tell us what you mean exactly.

The gay crowds want recognition and to use the other bathrooms , BLM doesn't get it that All Lives matter , The college kid wants a free ride , women want it all AND to stay home , men are just the usual selfish men , But , everybody gets a trophy and more sick days .
